Weekend giveaway: Treed

by Tsh Oxenreider

Tsh is the founder of this blog and is currently traveling around the world with her husband and 3 kids. Her latest book is Notes From a Blue Bike, and believes a passport is one of the world's greatest textbooks.

This giveaway is now closed.Today’s weekend giveaway is for you iPad users! Treed is an iPad app designed for making progress on your goals. The premise is simple: envision your goal, think about how you can get there, and create a map of these tasks. They call this goal mapping.

It’s a combination of backwards planning and a tree diagram (hence the app name of Treed). Treed keeps track of your progress and dynamically updates a list of the actionable items based on your evolving map. Treed helps you keep the bigger picture in sight, while also helping you focus on what you can do now. It’s great for all kinds of projects and goals for work, home, school, or life.
The original seed for this app came from Cara Oba’s dissatisfaction with planning design projects. She was using various systems to track progress on her details, and found herself constantly rewriting lists. Creating something for the iPad was a no-brainer, since it made editing plans ridiculously simple and she could stay focused.

As stay-at-home/work-at-home parents gifted in design and programming, Treed is Kyle and Cara’s first product from their new business, Pas de Chocolat. It’s a different kind of tool that encourages thoughtful goal setting and planning.

I have so many goals and projects lined up for this year, but often lose track of the steps I need to take to get there. As an iPad user, this sounds like just the app I need! Thanks for introducing it to SimpleMom readers.

Anything to help me write fewer lists is a wonderful thing, and don’t we all want to accomplish more while using time the most efficiently possible?! That leaves more time with the kids, or might make it easier to get enough sleep, if that’s ever really possible

I am often mired in multiple lists and post-it notes!!! Treed sounds perfect! My productivity will blossom with this new app! Treed–I am eager for you to be planted on my iPad; you have already been planted in my heart!

My husband and I sat on the couch last night looking for EXACTLY this type of software to help me keep my and our goals & home projects! I didn’t like the idea of being tied to my computer with a software, so thought I’d just continue with my attempt at paper planning. It never occurred to me there “might be an app for that!”. AWESOME! So much more organized than my 18 ‘pages” of notes, edits, and updates! I could spend less time reorganizing & rewriting my notes and actually get things done on-the-go. Love it!

Funny. I was just looking at this app yesterday. I liked the look of it.
It seems to be somewhere between a to do list, a gantt chart and mind mapping software, but with a much prettier interface.
It would make a welcome addition to my iPad arsenal.
Thanks for offering it as a giveaway.
